    River,
    I was doing some research on Queen Victoria and her descendents with hemophilia. They've reached the conclusion that the gene mutated with the Queen and she hadn't inherited it. http://www.unofficialroyalty.com/mar...-ii-hemophilia

      River,
      I can't imagine a 3 pound baby. Our first was a month early and weighed 6 lb. 11 oz. Forgot how tiny they were. Peyton was the first baby I've held in 23 years. And no, the daughter and her husband never heard of Peyton Place. Also, I'm proud that "William" is back up to #3 in baby name popularity.

        Yes, I think they figured that out a long time ago.

          River,
          My oldest sister in law was more than 3 months early. They had no money so were told just to take her home and keep a light bulb over her for heat. Many babies that stayed in the hospital and were given oxygen became blind. The sister in law thrived and became a hospital CEO amongst other things. She's still a dynamo running circles around her younger brothers and sisters.

            More power to her! Mine has battled mild CP from holding her breath while the nurses were at coffee break. But she has a ton of degrees, is a Project Manager at NASA/Glenn, president-elect of the Business and Professional Women at NASA and, last but not least, is the mother of my newest college graduate.

              I've grown up around a bunch of strong women and don't feel threatened in the least though some of my brothers do. ( not referring to biological or certain ethnicity groups). Strong women are sexy !

                  Nobody ever went broke taking a profit. Sold CHK @ 18.05 = +14.6% Watching, and maybe will buy again on pullback. Market is in short term up bounce, but medium term down trend. (Hmm... looks like sold too soon.)

                    That’s not exactly true. If you continually take small profits and hold on to your losers, transaction fees, the spread and decimation of your capital will eventually eat away your account.

                    River, my sweet, I hope you’re not of the school that thinks because you haven’t sold an investment you don’t have a loss. Look at your account balance at the end of each month or if you like each year and that will tell you if you were successful or not.

                    Ride your winners hard and kick the losers out of bed.

                    Oh Yeah; Good trade on CHK.
                    It is hard to find the Truth when you start your search with a preconceived notion of what the Truth will be.

                      Good trade buying more on the way down. I want to get some more on a pullback, too.

                        I think you are a genius ! CHK wasn't at it's low when you mentioned buying , just 2 days away. Can't get much better than that. Sorry I didn't buy some after I posted.

                                The reason women don’t have dirty minds is that they change them so often.

                                I like that in a girl.

                                Hope you make a bundle.
